Have you seen the "Hands Free" for Slice Elite? This is amazing and makes using your Slice so much better! If you haven't heard of the hands free let us tell you about it.
1. You have a magnetic 12" x 12" glass cutting mat
2. There is a magnetic collar that slides onto your machine
3. Lay your paper down, put the machine down and you can cut hands free!
Sometimes a layout is too good to hide in a book and what better way to show it off then framing it in a shadow box. We think it is a great idea!

Ok, so maybe you aren't a quilter and you are wondering why you would want a Slice Fabrique? There are a million reasons why you would want one [and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased] but this machine is amazing and you can create so many cool projects! We have a new design card coming out late Spring called Knick Knack, the design are amazing and look how great this sweater turned out. Do you remember the post on InvisiCut? Well here is another great use for that, cute lace or delicate materials for projects! What do you think?
Cut out your shapes in a cotton fabric and a lace, then add some pearls and you have yourself a goregous DIY project.
Hello everyone! I am very honored to be featured today on the Making Memories blog. This is my very first guest designer opportunity and I am very excited! Today I created this layout of my youngest son. I thought the Sarah Jane - Children At Play Collection would be perfect for a young boy or tween.
Here are the instructions:
Ink and distress edges of kraft cardstock.
Cut four squares of patterned paper 3 inches long by 3 inches wide. Ink edges. I used Tim Holtz “Rusty Hinge” Distress Ink
Place patterned paper squares as shown on layout and adhere to kraft cardstock.
Cut lilac colored paper to 3 ½ inches wide by 5 ½ inches long and ink edges with Tim Holtz “Milled Lavender” Distress Ink. Adhere 3X5 photo onto photo mat. Place photo and photo mat on layout using dimensional squares.
Cut three border stickers, layer and apply under photo as shown.
Apply Ranger Glossy Accents to all the diecuts, the striped area of tag, and orange letter stickers except for journal sticker and frame diecut. Let dry.
Place tags, sticker and diecuts as shown on layout and adhere. The rocket diecuts, striped tag, one number “6”, journaling sticker and bicycle diecut are all adhered with 3D dimensional squares. The stars, frame diecut and “6” on journaling sticker are simply adhered to the cardstock.
Attach small piece of orange ric rac to tag, tie and trim edges neatly.
Write journaling on journal sticker and orange sticker.
Apply mini stickers (things about you) and (you) inside of frame diecut.
I hope you liked this layout that I created. Please check out my blog at http://lee-annelovethejourney.blogspot.com/ for more scrappy goodness.
